Today marks the official release of Ubuntu 6.06, the userfriendly version of Linux. I've been test-running the (upgraded) beta since last week on my laptop, and -albeit a bit slow on this Pentium III Celeron 1GHz- I must say it's quite polished.
I've been running Debian unstable since 2000, but since the sarge release, it has ever become more and more unstable, causing grief at every dist-upgrade. Breezy has been running in VMware, so I had some time getting used to it. What strikes me is the big difference in repository content. Things like xephem aren't included in the Ubuntu repo, not even in multiverse.
Time to download the x64 version and install it on my dekstop.

Ik wist al een tijdje van ubuntu-be.org hoor. (Je had het dacht ik ook op de L2U mailinglist doorgezonden.)

I upgraded to Ubuntu 6 ("Dapper Drake") from Ubuntu 5 ("Breezy Badger", which I was already pleased with) and was pleasantly surprised to find that my system is much more responsive than with Breezy. Firefox seems especially snappier. I really like the new GNOME deskbar applet too.
